"Dreaming My Dreams" is an acoustic folk song from Irish band The Cranberries, taken from their second album, No Need To Argue. It was released as a promotional single in the UK in 1995. According to Billboard magazine, Island Records intended to release the song as the fifth single (fourth in the USA) from the band's second album.[1] Plans for a commercial single and promotional video never materialized, as the band entered into studio to record their third album, To the Faithful Departed, during the same time period.
